I thought Lon was getting a ton of money, that's just crazy.

 

[soonerbms]

Sean Miller's a good coach, but he ain't worth that kind of cash.

As much as I thought Capel needed to go from here, I think he would be pretty good there. He'd also be cheap. I would offer JC and then hire a bunch of great assistants with the money they saved.

Good lord

There may be a small chance that report is true.

NC State was great 30 years ago or whatever. But they have probably the 2 best programs in a 20 mile radius of their campus. And because of their 80s and 70s success they probably have too high expectations there. A Jeff Capel or Shaka Smart wouldn't be that bad for them.

SportsbyBrooks is reporting nc state going after Smart.

NC State could be the most overrated job in America.

Capel should go to a school like MO State

 

[yankeeDoodleSooner]

Only because NC State is the A&M of North Carolina. He would do a good job there, but they think they are a national power. JMO

Any idea why he would turn it down? I am a idiot...

 

[yankeeDoodleSooner]

Dead end job.

 

[OUFan]

Dead end job.

Got it but even if it is a dead end job, I would take it for 3.5 million!

 

[yankeeDoodleSooner]

I would too, but I'm not an established coach already earning a ton of money.

 

[bocabull]

Sean Miller is a Rolls Royce coach. He's worth that much but with what he's got going on at Arizona they would probably match anything up to $5 million.

Not sure it can be overrated when just about everybody knows it's not a good job given the in state competition that exist. To be overrated wouldn't people be saying it's a great job? Obviously coaches know better as they are all turning it down.
